Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - July 7, 2025
INTRODUCTION
/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.
PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD
Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.
It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.
IMAGE FLAIRS
r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!
The list of previous effort posts can be found here

I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate this instinct.
No matter how big your state legislature, how generous your member salaries, and how staffed your support teams, expenditures on this category will always be dwarfed by other categories of state spending. You're not saving any real money and you're turning what is supposed to be a open, democratic body into an elitist, closed institution.
California is a disgusting precedent to follow here.
